Lawyer. She was arrested in early June 2022, two days after her 40th birthday, for leaking data to Telegram channels. Law enforcement officers arrived to detain her with automatic weapons and body armor—they climbed through the windows and broke down the door.

According to investigators, she allegedly organized an "unauthorized mass event" when she held a consultation near Okrestina in August 2020.

She is survived by an elderly father and a 19-year-old son, who has suffered from Crohn's disease since he was 16.

Kozlovsky, on September 27, 2020, on Nezavisimist Avenue in Minsk, stood in a clutch with his elbows in the first row of citizens who were walking along the roadway. As a result, according to investigators, the movement of public transport was blocked and there was a malfunction in its work.
